There's not a whole lot to dislike about Kyle Blanks. The 23-year-old San Diego Padre is a 6'6, 270-pound outfielder who is incredibly likable, has light-tower power and actually runs well (three stolen bases and three triples this spring, and an inside-the-park home run last year).

After a spirited battle the fifth spot in the San Diego Padres' rotation will likely go to Mat Latos, after the 22-year old had a fantastic showing this spring. In five appearances in the Cactus League Latos tossed 17 innings, allowed just 12 hits, five runs (three earned) and struck ...
